Couch to 5k.....come join me!!

Ok, I tried this once before and got way to eager. I started moving quicker than designed. This time I will follow the guidelines.

If you are not familiar with a Couch to 5K, it is a plan to go from not running at all to running 5k (3.2 miles) in only 2 months. It is very doable and such a great feeling of accomplishment. I ran/walked a 5k in May and it was one of the most rewarding things I have done in many years.

Here is the link to the info.. If anyone is interested in training together just join in.

Cool Running :: The Couch-to-5K Running Plan

We will start on Monday, June 29.

Let's get ready to MOVE!!!!!!:tt2:

Kathy~ I'm glad you have a running buddy now. You're very lucky to have a hubby interested in running. I've been working on my hubby, but it's not going anywhere, lol.

Thanks to everyone who sent their prayers and positive thoughts... I got called back for another interview... this time with the HR Manager!!! So on Wed morning at 10:00 am EST... please send in all those positive thoughts again! As I understand it, HR is the last to interview at this company!!!

To celebrate... I think I'll go for a run! LOL!

YIPEEEE KAthy!! Sounds very promising. I will miss you being on here so much during the day, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!!! Wishing yo the best on Wednesday!!

Renewedhope - your last post is the reason you are my running hero!!

Kick his ass!

Hey!!!

Well she is kicking my ass. I am in training for a Half Marathon. Im proud of all of you ! Your doing great.

Luluc better be doing a Triathlon soon.

I tried something different today. I figured I have progressed enough that I could try running with the dog. So I took her out with me and we ran at a slow pace and I slowed to a walk every few minutes for her. I think she liked it, but it wore her out. She never ran full out, kind of a light jog and I had to encourage her along. But she also didn't stop and pull away, she kept pace and we went for about 30 min, which most was at a run. So I think I have a C25k dog! LOL. I was supposed to rest today, but its so nice outside that I just wanted to go running!

LOL Whosya, not kicking your a$$ anymore. I better get with it. I knew you'd be checking in so I thought I better behave at least a little. Looks like you are ahead of me know, but never fear girls, I will catch up. Just for you!! :)

Ooooo....this should be interesting. Both of you rock!! A little friendly competition is always motivating.

BTW, I'm sooo jealous! I want the nike+ system bad. I don't want to waste my shoes though. They are still in good shape. The next ones I buy will be for the nike+ system though. I'm thinking Christmas will be the perfect time....

Hey guys! It's been a while since I've been on this thread. I kind of wimped out over the summer, but I'm training again. I've dropped my time by 6 minutes, it's still not great, but I'm getting better. I'm running at least 5 days a week now, along with lifting weights and one day of yoga. I feel like I'm really improving which is making me want to do more. I hope to start doing 5K after the first of the year. I've got a lot of work to do to catch up with you guys, but you are all an inspiration! Thanks for the motivation!!

Glad to see you back Bea!! You are always welcome. Great job on the exercise regimen!!

Georgia, I can't wait for you to get a Nike+. We will have so much fun doing the challenges. Don't you wish we could trade those bodybuggs we bought together in on Nike+ now. It seems we have both changed our focus to moving!!!!! How cool is that!!

Come on Renewedhope, you can kick butt! Whosya knows he sets the pace. You are right on his heels. I love a good competitive spirit!!!

Kathy, it sounds like you may be wearing that red blazer more often. good luck.

I am tired today, plan to veg out on the sofa.
